LIVE: David Ray Griffin, 1939 to 2022 – A Celebration of his Life and Work

As Fran Shure says, as a highly-regarded academic scholar, DRG brought huge credibility to the 9/11 truth movement. Capturing his large body of work in over 10 books on the subject as opposed to on the more ephemeral internet further leant credibility and was a way of ensuring better longevity.

Probably DRG’s most pithy and pertinent statement on 9/11 is:

“If journalists continue to endorse the official account of the destruction of the World Trade Centre, they should begin their articles by saying: ‘I believe in miracles – lots of them.’”

It’s an interesting phenomenon that those of an atheistic persuasion who rubbish notions of loaves and fishes miracles swallow wholesale the fifteen 9/11 miracles identified by DRG here:

The question that this statement should prompt but hasn’t though is, “How do those in power succeed in their expectation that people will believe in miracles no more believable than turning water into wine?”

While I cannot provide a proper psycho-socio explanation, these three things are very obvious:

— the Emperor’s New Clothes effect has a limitless elasticity in relation to the majority of the population

— those in power understand and exploit this limitless elasticity

— those analysing power do not take this limitless elasticity and reliance on it into account in their analysis and this is a grave omission that limits understanding of their propaganda strategies

While DRG has done great work on the subject of 9/11, what it and that of the prominent truth movement in general lacks is the viewing of 9/11 through the psyop lens. If you don’t look through the psyop lens you simply miss the kind of event 9/11 is at its core: a psyop. It is a psyop, it is about making people believe things that aren’t true not through any kind of realism but through outrageous smoke’n’mirrors propaganda … and what most truthers haven’t done is test the limits of how far that untruth goes: they think the untruth stops at the buildings and planes but the untruth does not stop there, in fact, the untruth does not stop … it just keeps going to encompass everything we were told about what happened on that day. The only thing that happened for real on that day were the things easily verified: damage to and destruction of buildings.

A little known fact is that all seven of the buildings at the WTC were either severely damaged or destroyed on the day … but interestingly deaths were only recorded in WTCs 1, 2 and 3 not in 4, 5, 6 or 7. How could that be?

We were told a story which in typical psyop fashion has a few different versions that goes something like this: five men of Middle Eastern appearance were captured by a witness on camera seeming to celebrate after the twin towers came down and later these men were caught in a white van in which explosives dust was found who were then found to be Mossad operatives … regardless of who they were they all got home safely after “deportation”. The question is raised: why would this story be covered by the MSM in the raising of questions as it does about the Arab terrorist narrative?

In the appearance of this story in the MSM we see reliance on the limitless elasticity of the Emperor’s New Clothes effect. The perps know that those who’ll go along with their story won’t pay the slightest attention to the Five Dancing Israelis story, they’ll just ignore it while those who don’t believe their story will latch right onto it. I know, once I woke up to the inside job aspect of 9/11 that’s exactly what I did. My eyes opened wide when I read about the explosives dust and my little brain reasoned, “Oh, I see, they used outsiders to do the dastardly deed of pulling the trigger on the buildings and killing all those poor people in such a cold and callous manner, they didn’t use US citizens for the job.” But later I realised how ridiculous the story and how suckered in I’d been.

And then we have the thorny question of the alleged 265 plane passengers none of whom were killed in any of the alleged passenger airliner crashes because they didn’t happen. What happened to those people? And then … if their loved ones are actors then what about … ???

DRG missed the real secret of 9/11 and perhaps that secret will go down in history never seeing the light of day … like so many other secrets of history: 9/11 was, in reality, a massive Full-Scale Anti-Terror “Live” Exercise pushed out as a real event where the only physical reality was damage to and destruction of buildings: the planes were faked and death and injury were staged which isn’t to say that no one died or was injured as – after all – a complete mess was made of the WTC that day and who knows what exactly happened to all the people there and in the vicinity.
